NOVEL NEXT Chapter 431 Club World Cup
Galatasaray is a Turkish giant.
Their home stadium, Samyang Stadium, is a famous devil's home stadium in European football.
Although the number of people accommodated is less than 30,000.
But this place is called "hell" by Galatasaray fans.
Certainly not the hell of Galatasaray.
It's a hell for the opponent.
This is not a boast for Galatasaray fans.
Other fans agree.
Because all the terrible European teams that have experienced this stadium will definitely not want to play here for a second time.
but.
Except Ye Luo.
He has also been to Türkiye's away games before.
He knows something about this place.
So what if the fans are crazy?
How he should play or how he should play.
The so-called home field advantage has no effect on Yello.
There is Ye Luo as the base.
The other Arsenal players are certainly not afraid either.
This time in Istanbul.
Arsenal were prepared early.
For example, they traveled east and west - they booked two hotels.
The hotel they disclosed is for Turkish fans.
His players had already secretly gone to another hotel.
So Galatasaray fans spent the night in a hotel where no Arsenal players were staying.
Firecrackers and fireworks were set off all night.
All in vain.
But they don't know.
Galatasaray fans also felt that they had succeeded in keeping Arsenal's players awake all night.
Little did he know that Arsenal was sleeping peacefully in another hotel at this time.
It has no impact at all.
It can be said that Galatasaray fans simply performed a piece of performance art.
When we got up the next day and saw the report in the newspaper, everyone laughed.
Ye Luo came up with this trick of seducing people in the east and attacking in the west.
It only took a small amount of money to give Arsenal's players a good night's sleep.
It’s worth it.
The fans are crazy though.
Galatasaray's players are not crazy.
They also know that this game actually means nothing.
In their last group match, they lost 0-3 away to Monaco.
In other words, no matter what the outcome of this game is
Their hopes of qualifying for the Europa League as third in the group are already slim.
In terms of the relationship between the two sides, Galatasaray did not take advantage of Monaco.
In terms of goal difference, Monaco has two goal differences, but what about Galatasaray?
They are.—7
The gap is too big.
There was no hope of catching up.
Therefore, this final round of the group stage.
For Galatasaray it was just a formality.
There is no conflict of interest on either side.
Why Galatasaray fans are so crazy.
I just hope that their team can win a Champions League at least.
This is related to the face of the team.
But fans think this face is very important.
Players may not feel that way.
After the game starts.
Wenger rotated most of the main players.
Arsenal are not going to go all out anyway.
Galatasaray also felt that this game did not mean much.
Might as well stay in the league.
After all, Galatasaray has fallen to fifth place in the league.
The local super giants will also be greatly affected by the Champions League.
So this game is for both sides.
They all have the meaning of being calm and calm.
The atmosphere at home is really strong.
The two sides completely let go when they arrived on the court.
The offensive battle started.
The final score was four to two.
Arsenal scored four goals.
Galatasaray scored two goals.
Yello scored a goal during the game.
In the six games of the group stage, his number of goals was fixed at nine.
After the game.
The atmosphere between the players on both sides is still very good.
Galatasaray's players are like star-struck fans.
Many people rushed to take photos with Ye Luo, asked for Ye Luo's autograph, and some hoped to interact with Ye Luo on Twitter.
It's no different from ordinary fans.
After all, everyone is a player.
However status is completely different.
Yello for the current Galatasaray players.
They knew how powerful Ye Luo was.
So they also have a little respect for Ye Luo.
It's not surprising that he behaves like a fan.
Ended this last Champions League group stage match.
Arsenal returned to England.
After all the group stage matches ended the next day.
The top sixteen were born.
UEFA quickly held a draw ceremony.
Because teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern are first in the group.
It is impossible to meet Arsenal.
but.
Arsenal were drawn to Dortmund.
This fortune is good or bad.
Dortmund is not the Dortmund it was a few years ago.
Dortmund is currently ranked 13th in the league.
Klopp Alexander.
So they may not be so crazy in the Champions League.
After the draw is over.
Arsenal has a league match against Fulham at the weekend.
Finished the game against Fulham.
The whole Arsenal team is going to participate in the Club World Cup.
The game against Fulham.
Arsenal made a big rotation.
Even some reserve team players have appeared on the 18-man roster.
This leaves the reserve team players concerned.
A great encouragement for sure.
However, these reserve team players did not get a chance to play in the game against Fulham.
They just sat on the bench for one game.
Arsenal defeated their opponent two to one in this game.
The game process was not exciting.
Fulham even had a chance to score;
It is precisely because of this.
These reserve team players have no chance to play.
Wenger must ensure that the team can win.
anyway.
Three points are the most important.
Win this game.
Arsenal maintain their three-point lead over Manchester United.
The day after this game.
The whole Arsenal team is going to participate in the Club World Cup.
This is Yeluo's first time participating in the Club World Cup.
The predecessor of the Club World Cup is the Toyota Cup.
Previously it had been an event sponsored by Toyota.
The competition is played by the winners of the European Champions League and the Copa Libertadores every year.
The bonuses are huge.
That's why we can invite these two championship teams.
The predecessor of the Club World Cup is the Toyota Cup, and the predecessor of the Toyota Cup is the Intercontinental Cup.
The purpose of this cup is to pit the two most powerful teams in world football against each other to determine the true king of the world.
That's why there is a competition between championship teams from two continents that represent the highest level of world football.
Later, after FIFA President Sepp Blatter came to power.
Determined to use the Club World Cup to compete with the Champions League for influence.
There is this Club World Cup.
Starting in 2005, it replaced the original Toyota Cup.
Let the Intercontinental Cup champions from all continents join in.
But let’s be honest.
Although there are many participating teams.
It can be regarded as a veritable World Club Cup.
But the highlight is the competition for the Champions League title and the Copa Libertadores title.
The annual championship and runner-up are also produced between these two teams.
After all, there is a huge gap in football strength between continents.
Only South America can compare with Europe.
The national team is fine.
After all, many countries can send overseas players to Europe. If there are retained players, they can still compete with the national teams of European countries.
But there is nothing the club can do.
The strength of South American teams is not enough compared to the Champions League champions.
For Arsenal players.
They didn't pay much attention to the opponents they encountered in the Club World Cup. Even Boca Juniors, the champions of the Copa Libertadores.
They don't really care either.
They come here.
Just came to collect their scheduled third championship trophy.
When the Arsenal team's plane landed at Tokyo Narita Airport, it was warmly welcomed by the fans there.
The Arsenal team has many fans all over the world, and Japan is no exception.
In addition, Arsenal is now the most powerful team, and Japanese people admire the strong, so there are more fans.
This time to participate in the Club World Cup, Arsenal’s main players are fully present, and there are many superstars gathered. Japanese people who like to chase stars will naturally come out in full force.
From the moment they walked out of the aisle, they were drowned out by the cheers of the Japanese fans at the airport.
Countless female middle school students and boys screamed.
The number one star Ye Luo is naturally the most popular person.
Although Ye Luo is from the Dragon Kingdom, this does not prevent him from having a large number of fans in the Japanese Kingdom.
Many female middle school students held up posters of Ye Luo with red hearts drawn on them to express their love for him.
Ye Luo, who was walking among the crowd, obviously enjoyed this kind of treatment. He waved to the female students frequently.
There are also many fans of Ye Luo among boys, because he is strong, can score goals, and has a very unruly personality, which makes him very suitable to be the idol of rebellious boys.
They also chanted Ye Luo's name.
Ye Luo was a little colder towards them than towards girls, and most of his eyes still fell on girls.
Arsenal players were also in a very relaxed state before taking the field.
Compared to their nervous-looking opponents.
It seems that Arsenal's players are not here for the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.
But tourists who come here for vacation.
After the Arsenal players took the field.
They don't know anything about their opponents. They don't know the names of their opponents' players or what positions they play.
it's fine.
It is impossible for Arsenal to defend in this game. They must lead the offense and dominate the situation on the court.
If the opponent can get about 30% of the ball possession rate, Arsenal is considered waterproof.
From the beginning of the game.
Arsenal launched a fierce attack towards Al Ali's goal.
At first, the African champion wanted to say goodbye to Arsenal.
They feel they are fighting for their own dignity.
Arsenal's players didn't take them seriously.
This made the African champion feel insulted.
But it only took less than five minutes for the African champion to become a mere African champion.
Their resistance lasted only five minutes.
The fifth minute of the game.
Arsenal scored.
The player who scored the goal.
It is their number one star-Ye Luo!
After getting the ball in the penalty area, he easily shook off the defender, widened the angle, and pulled the ball with his inside foot. The football drew an arc and flew into the goal while grazing the post.
Huge cheers erupted from the stands of Edo National Arena.
Anyway, now the host team has been eliminated.
So Japanese fans simply became Arsenal fans.
Of course, I have become a fan of Ye Luo.
Because of Ye Luo's existence.
During this period, many Japanese fans even bought the flag of the Dragon Kingdom.
They put stickers on their faces to show that they are die-hard fans of Ye Luo.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! The line that cuts through the space!!! The sword of the empire!!"
The Japanese commentator's middle-class second-grade commentary began.
"Arsenal scored first! Then they can play their best defensive counterattack!"
But Arsenal did not do what the Japanese commentator said.
After taking the lead, shrink back.
That's right.
Arsenal are very good at this.
But that's why teams like Barcelona and Manchester United would do this.
What about this African champion?
Of course it's impossible to lose status like this.
So after Arsenal scored.
They didn't shrink back.
But continue to maintain high pressure.
Continued and indiscriminate bombardment of Al Ali's defense.
All of a sudden.
The African champion team finally understood the huge gap between themselves and the European champions.
There was a roar in the restricted area.
Arsenal's goals came one after another.
Arsenal led 4-0 in the first half.
Ye Luo scored twice.
The other goals were scored by Cazorla and Van Dijk.
After the start of the second half.
Wenger began to make substitutions.
He now very much hopes that the Club World Cup can be the same as the pre-season.
Can make unlimited substitutions.
In this way, he can replace all eleven starting players on the field.
This will allow more players to get opportunities to play.
It will also allow more main players to rest.
It's a pity that this game is an official game.
All rules must be followed according to the rules set by FIFA.
Of course, the number of substitutions can only be limited to three people.
However, these three substitutions were used up in the 60th minute of the game.
According to common understanding.
The head coach should not use up his substitution quota so early.
Because you have to prepare for some unexpected situations.
But there are no surprises for Arsenal now.
They also need rest and adjustment.
So everyone thought that the next game would enter a garbage time.
Arsenal are just preparing for the next final.
The score of this game.
Maybe there won't be any big changes.
However, the development of the game does not seem to be developing as everyone expected.
Although there was a substitution early.
Arsenal did not attack as fiercely as they did in the first half.
However, the goals still came one by one.
finally.
in the second half.
Ye Luo scored twice.
There was a big four in this game.
Arsenal defeated Al Ali 7-0.
This game surprised many media.
They certainly guessed that Arsenal would win easily.
But I didn’t expect to win so many.
This is simply too heartless.
But fans who have watched this game know it.
In fact, Arsenal have shown mercy.
The few goals scored in the second half were at that point where you would be insulting your opponent if you didn't shoot.
Arsenal stopped kicking and scored 7-0.
If only they went all out.
Will they give the African champion a double figure?
the next day.
Another semi-final is also over.
The match between Boca Juniors and Mexico America went into overtime.
In the end, Boca Juniors defeated their opponent with a score of three to one.
Unlike Arsenal who easily won the African Championship.
Boca Juniors is much more difficult.
On the one hand, there is a huge gap between Boca Juniors' own strength and Arsenal's.
On the other hand, Mexico America is stronger than the African champion.
There are actually huge differences in the level of football between continents.
The worst is Asia.
Although the national teams in Africa are very strong, because their local leagues are not running well, the teams in the local leagues are not very strong either.
The teams in Central and North America, especially the teams in Mexico, are actually very good, and their playing style is very unique.
South America has stronger teams than any of these continents.
But the strength of the European leagues is unique.
The uneven development of football has long existed.
Even as various resources are converging towards the European League.
The degree of this imbalance has even widened further.
Ten or twenty years ago.
South American clubs.
Especially the wealthy families of Samba Country and Crying Country.
The strength is definitely not inferior to the top wealthy teams in Europe.
But as the European leagues become more and more wealthy.
South American clubs have almost become the youth training base for European teams.
A South American genius who only needs to make a name for himself.
They will soon be noticed by European teams and then brought to the continent.
This forms an ecological chain.
but no matter.
The only country that can slightly catch up with the strength of European clubs is South America, where almost everyone knows how to play football.
In the end, Boca Juniors and Arsenal met in the final.
After all, there are no surprises in this world's Club World Cup.
Whether it’s called the Club World Cup.
Or the Toyota Cup.
The essence remains unchanged.
This is the battle between the European champions and the South American champions.
Finally reaching this point, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
The Club World Cup has only officially begun now. (End of chapter)
